This is something I have thought about also, probably less than 20 years. (should we start a thread about "corn fed" E85 conversions??) Just bought a new car and spent way to much time thinking about gas milage. Not sure what the issue is with Mustang Coupes. I am a big Camaro lover (my very...

I have 3.55's with a C4 auto. I don't drive it very much other than to shows and to drag race. I would not go any more than 3.25 if you will be doing much freeway driving. I agree the ideal set up would be an AOD. david

Thought I sent it, but it was a while ago HCS 168622 Regards David

This is an old thread, but I want to let everyone know that I just installed Global West Subframe Connectors on my HCS and they fit like a glove. I am very impressed. My only concern is that they might be too heavy duty, adding excess weight to the car. After a year and a half and two...

Mike and Robinette, Very impressive results, congratulations! David

4 people are bidding on it!!!!

The leather seats (even the passenger one) look like they have a lot of creases for a car with 650 miles. I have always liked the Cougar, had one back in 1978. David

That is a pretty amazing coincidence!

I also used an under dash harness from a donor car. But, I have used instrument cluster and under hood harnesses from Alloy Metal Products. They claim Concours quality repoductions. Their product seem to be high quality. I purchased the under hood harness for NPD. It was packaged...

If anyone is interested, the Nov 2006 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines has an article on the 1968 Cougar GT-E. David

Arlie, check out http://www.heartlandenginebuilders.com/ This is who I purchased my 393 stroker from via the internet. Feel free to PM me and I can give you more details about them and purchasing from a non local engine builder. David

I have pulled my tranny and run my engine. It might depend on the type or year or your transmission. I have a C4 and had to unbolt and leave the bellhousing on so that the starter could be used. I had a similar situation trying to diagnose a rattle. I was sure it was the flexplate, turned...

Congratulations on the award! Car looks great. I am partial to Candyapple Red and Black stripes (same as mine!!). I really like the way the wheels look also! david

Mine weighed in at 2,900 last year during race season. Most drag strips have a weight station. david

Jeff, I pulled my 302 and went with a 393 stroker. No substitute for cubic inches! Converting to a Windsor block was pretty easy, bolts right in. Main issue is dealing with PS, Alternator and Headers. All easily surmountable. Good luck and enjoy your new engine! david

Jon, When looking at threads in the forum and select on last post, it takes you to the top of the thread vs the last post. good luck with the bugs. david

Seems it did not go up for auction. Carroll Shelby was there though (helping sell what used to be his personal 427 Cobra...$5.5M). When I had the opportunity to speak with him at the Shelby Museum over Christmas, I mentioned that the Green Hornet was going to be sold at BJ. He said he was not...

Interesting stuff. I am in Colorado and am SHOCKED that there are 43. These are only 68's right, no 66 or 67 HCS's? Bob and other Coloradians, sounds like we need to have our own local BBQ and get together!! david
